Using a bulletin box

Storing a document

Your fax machine can store up to 30 documents (as opposed to pages) in each

bulletin box. The documents can be either received, or scanned, at the machine,

which holds them for polled sending.

Note: For this operation to work, two things mus t b e tru e:

• The bulletin box must exist on your fax machine.

• You must know the bulletin box’s two-digit number (01–50) and

four-digit passcord.

To store a document by scanning in a bulletin box for polled sending:

1. Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as usual.

2. Change to Fax mode then press PROGRAM, P, 7, ENTER.

Select F-Code Box

01:Murata Machinery

3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the two-digit number of the bulletin box

you wish to use. Here, we’ve entered 0, 3 to indicate bulletin box 03.

Select F-Code Box

03:Muratec America

4. Press ENTER. The display will show:

03:Set F-Code Doc.

F-Code Passcode:****

Note: If you have not previously set this box’s passcode, this message

won’t appear; in that event, skip to step 6 .

5. Use the numeric keypad to enter the box’s four-digit passcode. Here,

we’ve entered 2345.

03:Set F-Code Doc.

F-Code Passcode:2345

Note: If you enter an invalid passcode, the fax machine will reject the

attempt and abort this operation.

6. Press ENTER. Now the display shows:

Add Document :On

Program/Enter

This is the Add Document setting. It determines what will happen when

you add this document to this bulletin box. With the setting at On, your

machine will not erase the documents from the bulletin box when you add

this document. With the setting at Off, your machine will erase the

documents when you add this document.

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 8.

Otherwise, proceed to step 7.

7. Press PROGRAM to toggle the Add Document setting to your preference.

8. Press ENTER. The machine will start scanning the document into the

selected bulletin box.

F-Code Doc. File: 1

A4 Mem100%

Important: Your machine can sto r e up to 3 0 files. It identifies each by a

file number ranging from 1 to 30.

Your machine will assign the d o cu ment th e lowest available

file number.

You need to know a file’s number to erase or print it on your

fax machine. See also “Printing a list of documents stor ed in

your F-Code boxes,” page 2.54.
